Encircled by a 5.6km private lagoon on the Noonu atoll, the five-island retreat is a newcomer to be reckoned with, offering up stunning accommodations that capture the luxe spirit the island nation is so well known for. From an overwater villa with a retractable roof to the three-bedroom Water Reserve, which comes complete with a waterslide leading into the ocean, the growing Thai chain puts emphasis on creating lifelong memories. The country’s first water-top observatory, a silent cinema at which guests tune in with Bluetooth headphones, an indulgent spa and a meditative ficus-hedge labyrinth add to its intoxicating allure.
